Honestly I´d love to see a photo book or zine or anything like that of your trip to Japan! This tiles project is really interesting and diverse, but I also enjoy your street photograohy so much! Would be great to see your work in a book, maybe with different chapters dedicated to different themes such as tiles, street photography, house entrances etc. Keep up the good work! :D

Phenomenal work, really! Not only the project itself, but your thought process is fascinating to hear! I myself am more of a cinema guy, but as I'm working on my projects I'm slowly getting interested in still photography too! I've been watching your channel for a couple of months now, it's been a treat! Keep up with your good work and your dreams!

I love the minimalism of the closer up shots, just really nice compositions, colours, contrasts. Perfect! Here a treatise on tiles since I was very puzzled by this phenomenon too when I moved from East Germany to the Rhein / Ruhrgebiet when I was 17: Concrete, quick lime, plaster and traditional building materials all soak up all sorts of pollution. A lot of the factories in my hometown were built from red brick, but industrial pollution practically turned them black from all the soot. And no matter whether you take a pressure cleaner to it, that stuff doesn't come out because it doesn't just stay only on the surface level. Even cleaned they still have a sort of dirty look, it's nothing like a new red brick building. This darkening and blackening happened also in many places in the UK, especially in the North, so if you look at the work of photographers in that area you'll see dirty, grimy, dark buildings similar to what I grew up with in my hometown. The Ruhr area was also an industrial zone with a lot of textile industry too, just like my hometown, but they went a different way: They tiled many buildings and subway stops there because all the soot and grime doesn't soak into the tiles. You'll see lots of subway stations with crazy awful colours, brown, orange, bright yellow, sickly green. Think 1970s wallpaper? They're always bright and don't look dirty (except for the brown tiles they used in some places, yuk) because you can just wash all the grime off, for better or for worse. The mix of brutalist architecture, tiled buildings and dark grey facades of uncladded buildings from decades of industrial pollution makes the Ruhrgebiet really gritty to photograph even though pollution isn't that much of a problem anymore. From what I can gather Japan is also rather heavily industrialised, so I think the tiles probably also have something to do with that. It's so interesting that your pictures are all clean, lovely and pastel. Personally I always associate tiles with loud concerts in abandonded abattoirs, hours spent on the S-Bahn with that very half burned Ruhrgebiet smell in your nose, waiting for trains in places that make your eyes hurt and all sorts of gritty experiences like that. So much for tiles. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, lol 😅 I just thought you might find it an interesting extension to your research for your project.

My favorite thing about this is de emphasis on how the photo was taken. It really shows that it hardly matters and being a film shooter or using a certain camera only hardly matters. After you mentioned about tiles in Japan sometime back I also noticed it a lot during my recent Japan visit

This was fantastic! I loved learning about why Japanese buildings use tiles and what a great project to focus your efforts. I'd love to see a book or zine featuring these photos. This video had me thinking of something a little random I find myself photographing over and over... garden hoses. I probably have at least a dozen photos where a garden hose coiled up or a mess in a front yard is the subject in the photograph or plays a prominent part in a larger tableau. Very inspired, Teo.

This is an amazing video! It was very interesting to learn about the architectural reasons behind the tiles in Japan. Also, amazing to see someone interested in tiles as I am! I started film photography half a year ago and I love taking photos of tiles! There is one place in London which has the perfect dark green tiles that look gorgeous on film. It is also right on the road of the photography studio I used for developing my films. I took a photo of that particular tile wall every time I use that route.

i was like "woahhh thats so uncommon to see a whole building covered in tiles!" (for where i live) before i remembered halfway through the video that i do live in a whole building covered in tiles... I definetly need to start paying more attention to my surroundings. I often walked up to my apartment building and seeing this massive grey box of tiles, felt like i wanted to photograph is but i never really did.

Dieses Video ist auf so vielen Ebenen unglaublich gut. Das Intro, das an Wes Anderson erinnert, dein Storytelling, die Fotos an sich. Ein (hoffentlich bezahlbares) Fotobuch von dir generell oder speziell zu diesem Projekt würde ich safe kaufen. Vielleicht wäre Kickstarter oder Patreon ein guter Weg dafür. Was hast du eigentlich gelernt? Warst du auf einer Filmschule? Würde mich sehr interessieren. Ich feier jedes deiner Videos und hoffe du wirst noch lange Freude daran haben sie zu machen.
